HFL Division 1 (Central)

[watchdog]

I'm reserving my judgement re Torrens Valley, they've had the points allowance to use a lot of that $$ they're renowned for.

Have they now been allowed 15? Even so, thats just one more 3 point player.

Yes, TV applied to the board for extra points on the basis that they lost 7 A grader's from their 2010 side so the board granted them an extra 3 points.

This was all done before the AGM but was conveniently kept quiet until after.

Would be 7 minimum I would suspect.

Its probably fair enough.

Fair enough because why? If it was because they think there is more of a class difference between country and central then fair enough. Otherwise I disagree immensely!

Can anyone confirm who TV are losing?
I have heard Gunning, clayton, burns brothers. which still leaves four (if the named are infact leaving)

Because of the difference plus losing all those players. Its only 3 points remember, one player.

That is a fair few of there key players! That has put them back a long way, and hurt there chances of success alot. the loss of two mail medalists cant help at all, Mcdowell will be hard to replace

That's true, but I have to wonder: if you prep your club, players and administration for such a step (into a higher div) and 7 walk for whatever reason, isn't that just part of footy? IF any other existing club has an exodus will their points be adjusted? Batpad, i totally see your point, it probably won't make all that much difference, but an allowance that no other team got nonetheless.

You make a fair point. I would like to hope so, whats good for one should be good for all. But, as I think you were getting at, that may not be the case.

Well put there guys and i think i would have to agree with you in the regard that if Ironbank had lost williams , wendlebourne , C. Smith , Muiden , Yoemans x 2 and Ferguson i wouldnt think the HFL would have allowed any xtra points to the thunder train , have Shanty been granted any xttra points this season for losing bever and Conner ( i have herd he has moved on ) Healy or any others ??? No offence to Shanty or Loby but if anyone needs extra points to strengthen them up it would be them and loby not TV ???

To be fair i thimk TV should of started with the 15 points before any of those players left

I have to agree also i think that Lobey and Bridgey would be on the max of 15 anyway. Also i have heard that Lobey may have picked up a couple more from Norwood and are chasing the Bratton's would be very handy for them being 0 pointers, anyone know more?

Why, last year TV were saying they were easily a better side than Lobey, Bridgy, Birdwood, Hahndorf and Ironbank and that they would've made the finals in Div 1, so why would you give a mid range team the same points as the bottom teams?

M Bratton is going to Waikerie.

If you don't care so much V, can you put to death the little whisper that I heard - a man in a red Everlast cap in a white ute, notepad in hand overlooking TV's first training?

Thanks, Bat Pad. Wasn't even posted long enough to get a rise out of V.
Wasn't meant to be taken seriously.

hi jq
happy new year old mate
i can assure you that when i go incognito at a closed door opposition training session i am sure to leave my infamous hilux in the driveway back at verdun... usually take one of my many luxury company cars with thick window tinting. also i always watch the footy in my black everlasting cap... the red everlast cap only comes out for special occaisions (weddings, births, public holidays etc). anyway i would rather watch a mt lofty game than watch tv train!!!

ps thanks bp i will make sure i am on a business trip on monday.

Hi vaughan, i notice at the end there you mention a "big pete" from kenilworth. this wouldnt happen to be young Peter Dimondopolus (prob. inccorect spelling there) would it?
Cheers YP

hi yp
not sure if it is the same man you speak of. i dont usually bother with the trivial details (such as peoples surnames).
i can tell you though he is a hulking unit with a booming leg. and lets not forget his previously mention 200+ games (junior).
he is a very impressive specimen.
